    Apr 25th, 2016

    <p></p><p>In Ogbomoso, Nigeria, large quantities of mango and cashew nuts are produced. Now the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology based there, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Wisconsin-Stout to process the fruits. The vice chancellor of LAUTECH, Prof. Adeniyi Gbadegesin, said the university decided to find a way to preserve the fruits which were seasonal in order to add value to them. <br></p> <p>He said, ”We recognise that mangoes are in season now but a large number of them perish, as do cashews and we have to do something to add value to them.” &nbsp;Prof. Femi Adekola, who is the Dean of College of Management, University of Wisconsin-Stout, USA and others from the same university are in Nigeria to discuss how to add value to these fruits.<br></p><p></p>
